White Scar Caves

Visitors to the caves walk through an
artificially enlarged fissure to meet a natural stream passage -
containing underground waterfalls, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones and other
natural limestone formations. Finally, a recently excavated tunnel and
walkway brings visitors to the impressive Battlefield Chamber, a huge
boulder-strewn cavern which was formed by glacial flood waters during the last ice age.

The Battlefield Cavern marks the end of the show cave as open to the general public,
but for cavers and potholers there are miles more passages and caverns to explore
(with the system apparantly taking in feeder streams from
Quaking Pot
and Greenwood Pot near
Crina Bottom
and
Boggarts' Roaring Holes
on
Newby Moss).
